Billboard magazine compiled the top-performing dance songs in the United States during 2026 on three main charts: the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs, the Hot Dance/Pop Songs, and the Dance/Mix Show Airplay. The Dance/Mix Show Airplay was first published in 2003, ranking songs based on airplay detections on dance radio, as well as mix-show plays on top 40 radio and select rhythmic radio as measured by Mediabase. Both the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs and the Hot Dance/Pop Songs are multi-metric charts, ranking songs based on streaming and sales as tracked by Luminate, as well as airplay audience impressions from radio stations of all formats as measured by Mediabase. First published in 2013, the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs was revamped in January 2025, to focus on songs primarily recorded by DJs or producers, with an emphasis on electronic-based production. As a result, the Hot Dance/Pop Songs chart was created to compile songs with "dance-centric vocals, melody, and hooks by artists not rooted in the dance genre".
"No Broke Boys" by Disco Lines and Tinashe completed its 24 non-consecutive weeks at number one on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs on February 14, before being replaced by Jennie's remix of "Dracula" by Tame Impala. Meanwhile, "How It's Done" by Huntrix singers Ejae, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami ended its 29 consecutive weeks atop the Hot Dance/Pop Songs on January 24. Other number ones on the chart were "Stateside" by PinkPantheress and Zara Larsson, "Aperture" by Harry Styles, and "Midnight Sun" by Larsson.
"Aperture" and "Midnight Sun" also reigned both the Hot Dance/Pop chart and the airplay chart. DJ David Guetta had three chart-toppers on the Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart, including "Gone Gone Gone" (with Teddy Swims and Tones and I) and "Save Me Tonight" (with Jennifer Lopez), extending his record as the artist with the most number-one songs on the chart with 22. "Save Me Tonight" also became Lopez's first dance airplay number one in since "On the Floor" in 2011. Meanwhile, Madonna had two number one songs on the airplay chart with "I Feel So Free" and "Love Sensation", marking her first dance airplay number ones since "Miles Away" in 2008.
